2 EXO program A phased program aimed at building an enriched xenon double beta decay experiment with a one or more tonne 136 Xe source Ability to detect the two electrons emitted in the decay in coincidence with the positive identification of the 136 Ba daughter via optical spectroscopy First phase EXO-200, a 200 kg double beta decay experiment, begins data taking FY2011. Expect to measure 2νββ mode and confirm or rule out Klapdor 3 claim at 5σ after 2 yr runtime EXO-200 also tests backgrounds at 2000 mwe, LXe enrichment tech., low-radioactivity TPC components, light readout (518 LAAPDs) Case Mass (tonne) Efficiency (%) Run Time (yr) σ E 2.5 MeV (%) 2νββ background (events) T 1/2 0ν, 90% CL (yr) Majorana mass sensitivity (mev) RQRPA 1 NSM 2 EXO x Conservative (use 1) 2 x Aggressive (use 1) 4.1 x Simkovic et al., Phys. Rev. C79, (2009) 2. Menendez et al., Nucl. Phys. A818, 139 (2009) 3. MPL A 21 (2006) 1547 Assumptions: 80% enrichment in 136Xe Intrinsic low background + Ba tagging eliminate all radioactive background Energy resolution only used to separate 0ν from 2ν modes: Select 0ν events in a ± 2σ interval centered around the 2458 kev endpoint Use for 2νββ T 1/2 > 1 x yr (Bernanei et al.) DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
3 FY2010 activities & accomplishments Commissioned cryogenics at WIPP in Nov-Dec 2009 Installed TPC in Jan-Mar 2010 Discovered problem with power installation at WIPP, substantially degrading reliability. Upgraded EXO200 power distribution. Electronics running since Apr 2010, DAQ commissioning ongoing. Circulating warm Xe since May Waiting for WIPP s end of power and network distribution fixes (this is limiting progress). Should have LXe ~a month after the power issues are resolved Tonne-scale EXO design in relation to DUSEL TPC installation EXO-200 electronics installed and running at WIPP DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
4 FY2010 activities & accomplishments Two independent analysis groups making headway on analysis techniques Special emphasis on understanding LXe anticorrelation and how it improves detector energy resolution Monte Carlo studies of EXO-200 TPC ongoing Ionization only energy resolution 3.3% at Q-value Ionization+scintillation energy resolution improved from 1.9% to 1.3% with new analysis techniques Data from prototype TPC, 500 V/cm EXO-200 MC study of 208Tl calibration source DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
5 FY2010 activities & accomplishments Built TOF spectrometer to study grabbing/release of single Ba with metal probes Ba+ from tagged ion source (later 0νββ) electrostatically captured on probe, neutralized Thermal desorption from high work function surface emits Ba+ Eventually, guide Ba+ into ion trap for optical spectroscopy Time of flight spectrometer 5.2eV 10eV Neutral Ba ~5.65eV Pt (111) probe n + n = 2 exp e( φ kt IP) Φ = Work function IP = ionization potential Tagged single aluminum ion source Source spectrum DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
6 FY11 planned activities EXO200 Liquefy un-enriched xenon in TPC once WIPP power and network problems resolved Circulate LXe to clean TPC Noise studies Rn mitigation studies Continue Monte Carlo studies and analysis framework construction Install remaining Pb shielding Take physics data with un-enriched LXe Fill with enriched LXe, take physics data (est. ~ 5 yr run time) DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
7 FY11 planned activities Ba tagging Time of flight spectrometer with good energy resolution and ion collection efficiency completed. Single ion sources will be incorporated in the system. Samples with ultralow impurities have been prepared. Electron gun and pulsed laser heating systems as well as a fast temperature measurement system under construction. Will begin study of sample impurities and single barium surface desorption and ionization processes soon. R&D questions: Ba background coming off the probe? Surface ionization efficiency for a single Ba? Effect of xenon gas on desorption and ionization processes? DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,

9 Issues and risks EXO risks Neutrino might be Dirac and zero neutrino decay does not happen Backgrounds might be insurmountable Ba + identification might not be practical EXO-200 issues and risks How long to clean detector and achieve long drift? How long to achieve nominal noise? When do we close the shield? When do we switch to enriched Xe? What will the radioactive backgrounds be? What Rn mitigating measures do we need? Power reliability always a concern (not unusual in a mine) DOE Site Visit: Sept 13-14,
